Is it true? "every person has their own battles/struggles"

[Zubes]

Exactly what the title says really.
I keep seeing quotes that say "Every person has their battles... be nice" etc.
Is this really the case? I certainly have my own battles, but this implies every human being experiences it too.
For example, I follow this actor (who I actually fancy the pants off haha). He is so chilled, kind hearted and carefree. Literally a perfect human being. Always being complemented on his looks, could get any women he wanted. I'd like to assume he has no "battles" of his own as his life seems so perfect and what struggles would he have?
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense - hard to word it!
What do you think?

Op. Alexander Dreymon does indeed seem very 'content'. I liked him as Uhtred. With an inner calmness. I think it's his nature. Partly being German .

And he likes his privacy. Like some other actors, who don't revel in the limelight like the kashadians or little mix.

But.

"His mom's life was adventurous hence Dreymon's interesting childhood. He had to study in Paris because his mother moved there to take care of his aunt. He then moved to the US, the UK, and later Switzerland as his mother moved around a lot."

"Dreymon had a hard time landing major roles when he graduated from Drama school."

So, I suspect, not all ideal.

I could have written your post. Bereavement so raw that you think it's going to finish you off yet you get up in the morning, chat to colleagues at work. Just generally get on with things. But you're crushed. Changed forever . Broken so bad you don't even know where the pieces of you are.

But Lucy I promise you ....... It will ease. I can't tell you when . But it does ease. One day you will be able to breathe without that zagged raw pain. People told me that but I didn't see how it could be true. I thought it would never ease. But it has.

Hang on in there and do whatever you need to do to survive through this. You WILL come out the other side x

You looked at an actor's social media profile and decided they didn't have any problems? This is the weirdest post.

Of course everyone has their own struggles. You sound naive. Perhaps get to know people in real life as opposed to just observing their lives on the internet?

Depends on your base personality. And if you have a loving family, and a 'normal' upbringing with interested parents. This gives you good foundations.

You may then just about manage to cope with tonnes of shit thrown at you.

Versus someone without those things, no foundations, no loving family, crippling anxiety.

And the rest of us. With bits of both.

Everyone has struggles at some stage, but some people keep quiet about theirs. None of us can know just what is going on in other people's lives and can't tell from what we see, so yes, it's true everyone does have their problems.

this is such an odd post. You recognise you have struggled but can't comprehend the fact that other people might also have them?

I live a blessed life. I have a lovely home (with a mortgage), a loving DH with a good income, a lovely rescue dog, a poorly paying but reliable job, great family and great friends. I'm sure my SM looks fab (I hope so). We go on nice walks, cook lovely food and in normal times go on good holidays. I'm vocal about politics and charities.
I've also got a neuropathic illness that affects every single minute of every single day and has me curled up in a ball sobbing at times. It made me suicidal as a late teen and makes me desperately depressed when things are bad.
Once a year on the national 'day' I make a post about it on SM, but that is it. My.closr friends and family are, of course, aware but I don't promote anything about it. Doesn't mean I'm not suffering though.
Do I have it worse than other people? Absolutely not. I have a blessed life. But do I suffer? Absolutely.

Everyone has their problems, but they're not all equal. Some people's problems are temporary, some are permanent. Some people complain a lot about small problems, some people stoically deal with huge ones. Some people appear to have no problems, because they keep them to themselves, but it doesn't mean they don't have any. And being wealthy can cushion you against some of life's problems, so that if a poor person and a wealthy one have the same problem, the wealthy one has more options to overcome the problem.

So yes, everyone has their issues, they're just different issues with different levels of seriousness.

Everyone has had troubles at some stage in their life, and that has formed their behaviour and reactions.

Currently, I have no major problems. I have worries and boggles but nothing that’s putting a huge mental stress on me. However, like everyone, I have baggage relating to things that happened to me in the past and that shapes a lot of my feelings towards certain matters, and will impact how I deal with situations, or how resilient I can be when faced with particular problems.

The saying “everyone has their own struggles” doesn’t mean that every single person you encounter has a big issue that very moment, it means that they’re the sum of their experiences and difficulties.

I think everyone has different ability to cope with different problems too. As a mental nurse my mum would visit people at home and she said many of them had beautiful homes and lovely families, were good looking etc, yet they were suffering from terrible mental problems and couldn't enjoy their seeming good fortune. w
Whereas on the face of it my mum herself had a much worse life; money problems, family problems, not in the best of physical health. Yet mentally she is well and can cope and is generally fairly content and she was there helping them when if you didn't know you would probably think it was the other way round.

Struggling to pay rent and put food on the table is real physical struggle which some have to face in their life but many never do.

Beyond that it all just gets very, very subjective and is more about emotional - mental struggles which aren’t easily compared between one person and another. Though of course they can be as serious as the above “physical” struggle in some cases.

Well on the surface I'm doing just fine.

But in the past month I've found out one family member has become so islolated during lockdown she's started self harming and neglected her house so badly we had to go in and sort it out so SS wouldn't take her dd.........no idea what it's like now as we haven't been able to gain access again.

Another family member has huge mental health problems and is an alcoholic as a result of childhood abuse by my father. So I'm helping her work through that.

Last week we found out an elderly family members house I'd falling down around him. He has no gas, no water and no electricity. We've finally gained access and are now doing what we can.

As for me well I have my own issues.......but other than that things are fine. 🤨

Everyone struggles at some point.

I also think it peaks and troughs. You can go years with no struggles then a few come along. They also change over time.

In my early 20’s my struggles were being made redundant. In my early 30’s it’s homeschooling during a pandemic whilst trying to work FT. My early 20’s self couldn’t comprehend the stress I’m under now but being made redundant was a very hard period for me at the time. Does it mean one is more valid than the other? No, I don’t think so.

I don’t think everyone has struggles all the time but everyone has struggles at some point(s) in their life.
